THE PRESS AND THE PULPIT.

An interesting paper on this subject
was read recently to meeting of Bap-
fist ministers, held in New York, by
Mr.. st. Clair McKelway, editor of the
Brooklyn Eagle. The essayist began
his remarks by stating that newspapers
and pulpits have reached their best es-
tates. The church, he said, in the last
fifty years has grown independent of
Caesar, and the ministry of to-day is
much better educated. 1.-THE pulpit
and the press" it was his opinion, "are
the educators of the public. In the
last half century the pulpit has grown
higher than ever and the press freer,
and its printing machines can be heard
all over the country" Mr.. McKelway
referred to the press of to-day as on
parallel line with the church, and said
that the two are now doing co-opera-
tive work. The press he spoke of as
the next thing to religion. He advo-
Gated the employing of educated men
for the position of reporters, and said
that the day was coming when no man
could report without he carried diplo-
ma and license.
From the above, edited from daily
newspaper, it seems that Mr.. Nickel
way did not say-and so we will say it
for him-that the functions of the press,
and the pulpit are in the leading re-
spect of all, entirely dissimilar. The
pulpit is not mere instructor. Prop
erly regarded, the work of the Christ
ian minister, speaking of him merely
as teacher, is immeasurably higher
than that of the newspaper. 1t is folly
to compare the diffusion of news and
the dissemination of political opinion,
with the mission of the Christian cler-
gyman, as divine ambassador to point
out to those who need reconciliation
with their Maker, the means of this
being effected, and to be the diligent
pastor of believers. We have avoided,
as far as possible, the language of the
churches in our statement, which we
consider one highly proper to be made.
1t is degradation to the pulpit to speak
of it as on parallel line with the press,
excepting indeed the expression be linn
tied in its application to what is merely
incidental in the work Of the minister.

THE country stands financial disturb
ance better than at any previous time
in its history. The failure of the Fidel-
ity National Bank in Cincinnati last
week,-a bank utterly ruined by spe-
ulative rascality-is larger failure
than that of the Ohio Life and Trust
Company in 1857, which precipitated a
panic throughout the country. But
general business goes on as usual, and
the honest banks of Cincinnati and the
Ohio cities are not perceptibly disturb
ed.

WE continue in this issue reports of
the Children's Sunday observance in
our Western churches. There is, I'M
doubtedly, considerable of a sameness
in these reports, but the people enjoy
the paragraphs which relate the doings
Of their own churches. Once or twice
year such general observances can be
reported with profit; but we cannot en-.
gage to give space to anything more il
this line for the present year, after next
week. If our friends wish their re-
ports of these June Sundays to appear
they must be all in hand for our mex
issue.

REV. J. COLEMAN ADAMS preached
a vigorous and faithful sermon on Sum-
day morning, on the responsibility in
CURED by too many Of our otherwise
reputable citizens in connection with
the Washington Park race-course. 1t
was sorry sight, said the preacher, to
see the merchant prince joining forces
with the gambler, and the woman of
society making bets in the clubhouse
when the blackleg was making his
within stones throw. The task of
moralists and preachers was made
doubly hard when gambling received
the sanction of social prestige and rep
utable citizenship. Sure enough; it is
high time to call halt in this fashion
able endorsement of one of the worst
forms Of the gambling mania that af-
ficts society.

Heaven and God are best diseerned

THE Church of Our Father, Grant
Place and Larrabee street, North Di-
yision), will be dedicated next Sunday
evening. 1t is expected that all the
Universalist ministers in the city and
vicinity will be present and it is the
desire Of the new society to see the
other parishes well represented by
friends and visitors. The services will be-
gin promptly at 1880, in order that those
in attendance may reach home at a
seasonable hour. Let all make a pill
grimage. to this new church, and en-
courage the loyal people of that parish
in the good work they have undertaken

The Commencement Exercises.


A detachment of cadets escorted Mr..
Buchtel from his residence to the college
at $50 Thursday morning. Shortly after
this hour the people began to assemble.
AT 8, the college chapel was filed to over
flowing, the gallery being also occupied.
An orchestra was in attendance and dis
coursed excellent music as the audience
assembled. The platform was hand
somely decorated, and Mr.. Buchtel in his
invalid chair, was well nigh hidden by
plants and flowers. On the platform
were the graduating class, the Faculty
and invited guests. The program was as
follows:

Or all the wild arguments advanced
in behalf of the personal veto, that of
Mr.. Marques, where he represents it
as a safeguard to the people, takes
the palm. One of the principal safe
guards-not to the people, but-to
the Gibson misrule was the exercise
of the veto, which we hold was
illegal under even the old Constitu-
ton. And if the Reform Ministry
only fell in with the idea of the per
sonal veto, supposing the Legisla-
ture was blind to the true and more
clearly expressed intent of the new
Constitution, there would be no sin
gle means of more potency than this
very prerogative, for intrenching
themselves in power, by enabling
them to keep up pretence OF being
in accord with the Legislature when
their real policy was contrary to the
sentiments of the peoples representa-
tives. How was it with the Gibson
administration? We have seen Min
listers under that regime quickly dis
corning when the majority of the As
sembly was going in a certain direc-
ton and promptly pulling into the
stream with the majority. But when
ever the particular measures did not
suit the Ministers, they were shortly
returned to the house with the an
nouncement that "His Majesty had
been pleased to withhold his assent"
therefrom. That, too, although the
old Constitution said that the min
listers are responsible" Is anybody
simple enough to imagine that in all
these cases the veto was exercised of
the Kings original volit1on or pleas
ure? Mr.. Gibson in a published inter
view in San Francisco let some light
in on the method by which the Kings
pleasure was put in operation. He
[Mr. g. and Mr.. Neumann sat over
heap of bills, and decided sum-
marty which should be signed and
which not. The King knew full well
that under that Constitution the pre-
negative was only to be exercised by
and with the advice Of his 'respon-
sible" Ministers, for 1t is matter of
common notoriety that when an over
whelming stress Of public opinion
was brought to bear upon him to re-
fuse assent to outrageous measures,
His Majesty coolly informed the rep
memorialists and peti
TONERS that he could not comply
with their prayers because his Min
listers had advised him contrariwise.
Yet the Ministers who were constitu-
tionally as well as by their actual
advice responsible for defeating the
Will of the Legislature, in other cases,
calmly faced the body that they de
ceived and turning up their eyes,
said, ct is the will of the KirS.n

The Encyclopedia Britannica, ="
ninth edition, 1885, in defining the
political prerogatives of the king,
among other things says:
He can refuse assent to bill pass
ed by the houses of Parliament. This
right has, however, not been exer-
cised since 1907, when Queen Anne
refused the royal assent to a Scottish
Militia Bill.
After giving long list of preroga
tives of a political nature, the "Ency
clopedia" says:
1t is scarcely necessary to point out
that all these prerogatives Except
the comforting of honors and such
prerogatives as are purely personaD
are exercised through responsible
Ministers, principally in these days
members of the party to which the
majority of the House of Commons
belongs.
The plain fact is that the veto is
not a personal prerogative of the Sow
ereign of Great Britain to-day. Hav-
ing been in desuetude for a hundred
and eighty years, it is as thoroughly
abolished through the development
of the Constitution as if it had been
repealed by formal enactment.

The following news article is
clipped from the Montreal Witness.
1t shows that the disease Of lsprosy
in Canada is gradually being
stamped out by a strict policy of
segregation
subject of much curiosity and little
knowledge, to most people, would be graft
fed by reading a particulariZed account of
an investigation at the LaZaretto at Tracadie
New Brunswick, by DR.. Herman Z. Hayd,
published in the Medical Record of October
/, 1887. The disease is endemic IN two coun-
ties of that province. TWAS first introduced
in 1928. The hospital or lazaretto. was
established by Government in 1874. and sub
sequently being placed in charge of a voun-
teer band of self-devoted Sisters from Mon
treal, their ministries, aided by the active
influence of the clergy, have overcome the
intense repuguance of the people to the
requisite segregation of the victims of this
terrible malady-which. of course, is for life,
as the disease has never been cured by NOR
tai hands, but always terminates in death.
In consequence the number of lepers is at
last diminishing and the disease is SLOWLY
dying out, the total of present cases being
reduced to twenty-five.
Leprosy, says DR.. Hayd, is due to the
presence in the blood and tissues of def
mite specific micro. organism or bacillus,
called the bacillus lepra, resembling very
much in physical character and chemical ac-
ton the bacillus tuberculosis of Koch. Yet
no successful NEGOTIATIONS have been made
upon animals. 1t is unquestionably con-
tagious; but III all probability an open sore
or abrasion, to admit directly some of the
discharges from the sores of leprous sub
iect, is necessary to insure its communi-
cation.
As to the immediate cause of the
disease, the following extract from a
Paris letter shows a modern scientific
opinion
According to NJ. Besnier, member of the
French Academy of Medicine, leprosv. far
from disappearing by degrees, is spreading
rapidly. Since the extension OF the French
colonial possessions, sailors, soldiers. traders
and missionaries have fallen victims to if in
large numbers. NJ. Besnier. therefore. ex.
horts physicians in all countries to study the
fell disease, in order to find means of conn
teracting its ravages, for 1t has active
focuses of Infection in every part of the
globe. The malady is transmitted by a
bacillus shaped like that found in tubercu-
losis. An interesting discussion on NJ. Bes-
nier's report will soon take place in the
Academy of Medicine.

IL the early part of last week, His
Majesty the King asked the Justices
of the Supreme Court to give him
their opinion regarding the constitu-
tionality of his veto of the bill to
abolish the office of Governors of the
islands, which had been returned by
him to the Legislature unsigned. On
Friday, it was currently reported that
they replied to the King that they
could give him no opinion on the
question which he had submitted to
them. 1t is understood that the
Bench was equally divided, there be
ing now but four Justices If this
report be correct, the question re
mains unsettled same as though
the Supreme Court had not been APP
pealed to. This result is greatly to
be regretted, inasmuch as a decision
of the Bench would have been ac-
cepted by many as authoritative and
final
1t now devolves on the Legislature
as the highest authority in the King,
dom next to the Supreme Court, to
advise what shall be established as
the law in the future. The Mobiles
and Representatives We're chosen to
deal with such questions as this,
should they arise; and no other
assembly Of citizens could have been
named better qualified for the work
which unforeseen circumstances have
imposed on them. 1t is grave
matter, calling for calm and dispas-
sionate deliberation; and whatever
course may be decided on, it should
be taken with frmness and a resolu-
ton to do only what is right and best
for the whole nation. If this is done,
the Legislature will be sustained by
the people, no matter what results
may follow
The question, briefly stated, and
stripped of all side issues, is simply
this: Has tile King tie rfgtt, uader tie
Constitution, to geto a lao passed Jg tile
Legislature, after baging been adUiSed By lis
Ministers to sign 1t? 1t can be viewed inn
other light than as direct issue be-
tween the King and the People.
